Chapter 522 The Lotus Seeds Are Lost
After a brief moment of consideration, Yun Yici decided to accept the green lotus seed.
She was careful and secretly put the green lotus seed into her sleeve in front of the spirit.
In reality, the green lotus seeds were first placed into the Mirror of Illumination and entrusted to Shen Huaichuan for safekeeping.
That way, even if things are exposed, they won't be able to find Qinglianzi on her.
Seeing that Yun Yici wasn't eating, the simple-minded spirit asked anxiously, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Yun Yici spread his hands upwards, and his spiritual energy condensed into a huge ball of wind. After the wind disappeared, he handed the ball of spiritual energy to the spirit.
"I'm going to the lotus pond right away, and I can't digest the power of the lotus seeds in a short time."
The spirit's eyes were glued to the ball of spiritual energy. He opened his mouth and hugged the ball of spiritual energy tightly.
He was so small that Yun Yici had specially refined his spiritual energy, making him look like a big snowball when he was holding him.
"Can I eat this?"
Yun Yici nodded: "Eat."
Once the spirit received permission, it eagerly stuck its head inside and began to wolf down the food.
Before long, the enormous ball of spiritual energy entered the spirit's stomach.
The lotus petals, which were originally pale white, began to regain a faint pink glow after he consumed the spiritual energy.
The spirit squinted its eyes contentedly: "Delicious, but not enough."
"If I give you two more lotus seeds, can you give me two more balls this big?"
Yun Yici's eyebrows trembled slightly; she did want to.
But with one of these treasures missing, I suspect there's already some trouble in the Lotus Pond.
If she takes all three, today's Lotus Pond Discussion will probably turn into a chase for a lotus seed thief.
She still longed for that cultivation technique that combined immortality and demonic arts.
Going to Lianchi is imperative.
"That won't be necessary. But when will you have your next child?"
"How about this, I'll make a deal with you. When you next produce some seeds, you can trade them with me. Besides my spiritual power, what else do you like? I'll do my best to get it for you."
The spirit, having eaten its fill, nodded happily: "Okay!"
"But I don't know what kind of knot I have. This is the first time I've had a knot. I should have more next time."
After making an agreement with the spirit, Yun Yici asked him, "By the way, I still don't know what your name is, fellow immortal?"
The spirit shook its head: "I have no name, and I have no other names either."
"I am the 18,629th blue lotus."
Yun Yici clicked her tongue in amazement and said, "There are so many blue lotuses in the lotus pond? But your Dharma incarnation is clearly pink."
The spirit said, "No, many lotus flowers that grew before have withered, and after they wither, new lotus flowers will grow."
"We are all blue lotuses, and only when we cultivate to the ninth level will we turn blue."
"When we first sprout, we are white, then pink, and then red."
"The next three layers are yellow, blue, and black, and the last three layers are purple, gold, and cyan."
Yun Yici understood.
If the lotus pond is full of lotus flowers, and each lotus flower gives birth to a spirit, it's no wonder that the cultivators in the lotus pond can command these spirits at will.
"So you're pink now, which means you're only at the second level?"
"How many nine-layered blue lotuses are there now?"
The spirit looked at her strangely: "What are you talking about? We are originally blue lotuses."
"Just like you humans, even if everyone's cultivation level is different, you are still human."
Yun Yici originally wanted to say that this was different, but she remained silent when she thought about how the other party could take out lotus seeds at will.
"I haven't seen any other spirits, so I'll call you Xiao Jiu for now. You can call me Xiao Ci."
"Xiao Jiu, let's go to the lotus pond first. If we linger too long, they might get suspicious."
"Don't worry, as long as you don't reveal the matter of the lotus seeds, I will never involve you in this matter."
Xiao Jiu then realized, "Right, right, let's hurry, everyone else has arrived."
"You infuse your spiritual power into the lotus, and I promise I won't steal your spiritual power this time."
Yun Yici infused spiritual power into the lotus flower. Xiao Jiu hadn't lied to her; the spiritual power flowed into the invitation through the extended flower stem.
The faint light of the handwriting intertwined with the lotus light, filling the entire room with the fragrance of lotus, and Yun Yici's figure gradually disappeared into the faint light.
As Yun Yici drifted into consciousness, she heard Shen Huaichuan's clear and melodious voice: "I have already put the lotus seeds away. Be careful on your journey."
She closed her eyes and accepted the guidance of the lotus light, her consciousness transforming into a stream of light and entering the lotus's body.
The fragrance of lotus blossoms lingered faintly in the air. When the misty fog before her eyes dissipated, Yun Yici finally saw the nine-tiered palace towering into the clouds.
Xiao Jiu sat on her shoulders and pointed out, "Keep going forward, you won't be stopped."
Following Xiao Jiu's instructions, Yun Yici continued forward and soon saw a lotus pond with its green leaves reaching the sky.
No, it should be said that the entire palace was laid out according to the distribution of the lotus pond.
Yao Chi and his apprentice were waiting for Yun Yici at the entrance.
Yao Chi breathed a sigh of relief when the figure she had been waiting for finally appeared.
"Sect Leader Yun! I originally intended to invite you to the gathering this morning, but the spirit that guides us arrived unexpectedly."
"I thought you would have no problem following the guidance, but I haven't been able to find you for a long time."
"I let Jianrou go in with the others first."
Yun Yici explained, "I suddenly saw the invitation lotus this morning and didn't react for a moment. This caused this fellow immortal to explain to me for a long time, which is why it took some time."
"Senior Lao Yaochi, you've been waiting for a long time."
Yao Chi: "It's nothing."
"However, I just saw that Langhuan looked hurried, as if something had happened. We'd better be careful."
Yun Yici immediately thought of the green lotus seeds that she had already taken away.
She remained expressionless and said gently, "Okay, let's go in first."
Xiao Jiu leaned obediently on Yun Yici's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "I'll take you to see the flowers I've bloomed later. They're very beautiful."
"Pink is the prettiest color."
This commotion did not escape Yao Chi's notice. She smiled and said, "Sect Leader Yun is kind and benevolent. He is indeed likable wherever he goes."
The four of them walked slowly along the winding corridor built over the lotus pond.
Lotuses of various colors come into view, standing tall and graceful, their petals swaying gently in the breeze.
Every now and then, there are spirit creatures about the same size as Xiao Jiu bustling about among the lotus flowers.
Yun Yici asked curiously, "Speaking of which, why are they called spirits of things, and not spirits of flowers?"
Yao Chi said, "Originally, there was only one Heaven and Earth Green Lotus in the world, and the Lotus Pond was born because of it."
"But after we arrived, for some reason, countless lotus flowers suddenly appeared overnight."
"These are all illusionary lotuses created by Qinglian to protect its true form. Since they are not real flowers, how can they be called flower spirits?"
Before Yun Yici could cover the spirit's mouth, Xiao Jiu retorted angrily, "We are clearly both Azure Lotuses!"
Yao Chi didn't react at all. She said dismissively, "These spirits are very obedient if you give them a little benefit. The only bad thing is that they talk nonsense and think they are Qinglian."
"I suppose this is also a trick Qinglian uses to deceive us."
“Once the original lotus is picked from the pond, it will disappear. How could a real lotus be so fragile?”
Yun Yici secretly wiped away a bead of sweat. It turned out that since all the spirits unanimously claimed to be Qinglian, none of these self-proclaimed knowledgeable cultivators believed them at all.
It's unknown whether the other spirits will use Xiao Jiu's trick to switch places and sell them out.
Just as she was about to ask more questions, she saw Qu Jianrou rushing towards her from afar.
"Master, what are you still doing here? Come quick, something's happened!"
Yao Chi looked up at her panicked disciple, puzzled: "What is it?"
"I clearly saw three lotus seeds, but in full view of everyone, one of them just vanished!"
